I am a woman of over threescore years (it sounds a little less harsh than 60, doesn't it?) Yet my age is irrelevant as long as my health holds out, and somehow I still feel (and act) like a youngster, as my mind has never been able to keep up with my years. I still love loud house music in my car (drawing strange looks) ; I still have my roller blades, my wardrobe goes back 30 years, and I love dancing, partying, and try to do something interesting every day.
I am very creative, and painting, sewing, knitting, writing, interior design and reading fill all the gaps between career commitments.
